Day 5 of our St. Louis Trip

Our day at the City Museum!

This place was great we loved it so much we got there at 9am and closed it down at 5pm.

They would have stayed longer if they would have let us!

At this time we had no idea what we were getting into.

But we were ready to get started.

This was one cool slide !!

Art - I really enjoyed this and we have some really cool stuff to bring home.
We worked with clay, paint and collage.

Portraits !

Hannah on the Tiny Town Train !

This kinda stuff was everywhere I didn't even try this one!

Spiral, Spiral, and more Spiral.

We went up and slid all the down.

I was just excited I didn't have to go all the way

back down after climbing all the way up.

Sharks!

Hannah loved the Stingrays!

MonstoCity!

This is 10 stories of craziness and fun.

We spent about 2hours climbing, sliding and climbing some more.

Their were 2 airplanes to go through.

I don't even know how many stories this slide is but

I didn't go down it - but the kids thought it was great!

This is the highest point of the MonstroCity.

Crazy kids loved every minute of it.

The Caves!

Walkways, slides, stairs, holes to climb in - this area was so crazy I couldn't keep up with the kids. They would start one way and come out and surprise me somewhere else.

Brady loved it - except the tight squeezes.

This is on our way out after 8 hours of play and fun we were wore out!

Believe it or not this is not even a taste of the cool stuff to do and see at the museum. I have lots more pictures and still missed some great shots but if you ever visit St. Louis you have to visit this place. It is downtown on 15th Street.

After walking 10 blocks both ways to the museum and playing

all day we went back to the hotel and where the kids swam and I rested.

I wish we could travel more and take in all the wonderful sites.

But our time here is almost over and we will be heading home in a couple of days so it will be back to the real world - which is fine we can't live in vacation world forever.

I will tell you more as I have time to post...........

Today we went to the Top of the Gateway Arch and road the

Tom Sawyer on the mighty Mississippi River and .............

Today was one of those days we did not want to get out of bed.
But we did.
It was Science Center Day !

Outside the Science Center!

The Lab was our favorite! DNA - Fingerprints - CSI Agents - Look at you Cells !

Today was Homeschool Day and the kids enjoyed a class on Plants and Flowers.

I had some free time - what to do, what to do.

Well lunch and the Gift Shop with no kids were at the top of my list.

Back at the hotel ...

yes swimming again.

When Kenny got back from classes we headed to the Old Sppaghetti Factory for supper.

This has been a great day kinda long but great.

Planning a Zoo Trip for tomorrow.......................

Day 2 Pictures of our Trip to St. Louis

This is in our hotel lobby and the kids

thought it was cool so here's they are.....

This is inside the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis.

We had a great time touring this national Historic Site.

The kids completed the Junior Ranger Program and received a certificate and badge.

We also visited the Gateway Arch - we didn't ride the tram because we wanted to wait utill Kenny can go with us Saturday. We did tour the Westward Expansion Museum - it is so cool.

Hannah is working on her Junior Ranger Workbook at the Museum.

This is 3 J. Ranger programs we have completed.

Ofcourse we had to swim -

the day would not be complete unless they get to swim.:)

Here's a night view of the Arch!

Hope everyone is having a great week.
